Description

🧶 Crochet boutique owner and hook expert Chloe Chain is preparing for the annual Fiber Arts Festival when the festival's main sponsor—a ruthless craft supply magnate—is found dead in her shop, impaled by a rare antique crochet hook from her own collection. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Chloe notices the hook has been deliberately altered and the victim's final crochet project contains a hidden message encoded in stitch patterns. With her boutique under suspicion and the crochet community in an uproar, Chloe must single crochet her way through the investigation. Assisted by her crochet circle and the handsome tool historian documenting vintage crafting implements, Chloe uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit hooks, stolen crochet designs, and a black market for antique crafting tools. From suspicious hook markings that reveal modern manufacturing to tension inconsistencies that suggest multiple crafters, every loop tells a story. But when Chloe discovers the victim was systematically stealing independent crochet patterns and mass-producing them overseas, she realizes the killer is protecting a creative legacy more valuable than any finished project. With the festival just days away and the real culprit still stitching deception, Chloe must hook the truth before her own story gets permanently fastened off.
